Team 4
Coach: Mason Padgett
#25: 5’8 ’21 Kadyn Dawkins (Eastern Guilford)
Starting things off, we look at a player that was arguably the most poised and effective floor general in attendance, Kadyn Dawkins. He’s a smart, crafty, heady point guard prospect with sharp vision, tight ball-handling, and three-level scoring ability. Dawkins gets everyone involved in the action and knows how to truly lock up his assignment and force turnovers with relative ease. Next in his development process is working on his ability to move without the ball, as it would allow him to find even more scoring opportunities as an off-ball cutter. Coach Padgett on Dawkins: “Kadyn plays hard on every possession of the game. He truly wanted to win every single game. Kadyn shot the midrange jumper at a high percentage but can also shoot the three-pointer quite reliably. He shot well off the dribble and showed that he has strong shooting mechanics. Kadyn can improve on using both hands. He was great at getting to the basket at any time. Kadyn also had great footwork and quickness on both ends of the floor.” Dawkins was great throughout camp and should be the unquestioned leader of Eastern Guilford during the upcoming season.
#41: 5’9 ’22 Luke Lentz (Bearden)
Next, we look at a player that stood out as one of the most reliable perimeter shooing threats on this team, Luke Lentz. He’s a smart, scrappy guard prospect with excellent scoring three-level scoring ability, especially from midrange and beyond the arc. Lentz handles the ball effectively and makes sharp passes whenever available. He works very hard on defense and knows how to overwhelm opponents with his energy level. Next in his development process is working on the use of his off-hand, as it would make him a better ball-handler. Coach Padgett on Lentz: “Today, Luke showed that he truly cares about the game of basketball. He moved without the ball well and played hard on both ends of the floor. Luke needs to improve on using both hands. He was one of the best passers on either team. Luke has strong quickness and footwork for his team. He also has great court vision.” Lentz worked hard throughout camp and could be one to keep an eye on over the coming years, especially if he continues to work.
